You’ve got everything to gain and nothing to lose! ALL KILNS ARE NOT THE SAME. The interior diameter of an Olympic 23 3/8-inch, 10-sided kiln is the same whether the walls are 2 ½ or 3-inch brick, making it easier to fit a 21” round shelf. This is not true with some other brands … check the diameter out when you’re shopping and don’t be shorted when you buy.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE This year’s conference has been a rewarding challenge. We knew when July hit that cancelling the Fall Dallas Area Conference in Allen was a distinct possibility. With that in mind, the Executive Board made the decision to put on a Virtual Conference regardless of whether the physical conference took place or not. We spent a month researching platforms before Kris Andrews with CEDFA offered us space on the LearnWorlds Platform. Dr. Kari Murphy jumped on board as our Technology Chair and offered her assistance as well. Since its conception, the TAEA First Virtual Conference has had many hands helping and assisting with this monumental event. The generosity of time, the gracious lending of skills, and the outpouring of support from membership has truly humbled me. Our members stepped up to record workshops, lead live sessions, review a wealth of materials, monitor zoom and write articles. We could not have pulled off this conference without the help of many. Teachers, administrators, supervisors, and even retired teachers possess the most giving hearts. We sincerely hope that this TAEA First Virtual Conference provides you the necessary professional development that you come away refreshed and pumped for teaching in this turbulent time. Blessings to all of you. Warm Regards,

TAEA President

Registering for the TAEA Virtual Conference TAEA is excited about this new venue for our members and we hope that you have a positive experience. Registration is very similar to registering for a physical conference. You can go to the website and pull up the registration form to fill it out but here are the main differences: • • • • •

You MUST use the email you prefer for this conference. For members this will default to the one in your profile. If that is not the one you want to use, you will need to update your profile first. Once you’ve selected the email you prefer, you cannot change it. You MUST remember the email you used to register with in order to access the Virtual Conference site. You MUST register by November 11 to be assured a spot in the FIRST batch of emails processed. After this date, emails will have to be processed individually and it might take a few days before your account is active. You can register up until December 23 but registering this late might give you only one week to really enjoy all the wonderful presentations for the Virtual Conference.

Once you have registered, you will receive an email prior to the event that prompts you to put in a password. REMEMBER your password. You will go to CEDFA.Learnworlds.com to access the platform for our Virtual Conference. If you go straight to Learnworlds, it will ask you to pay again. Registration ends December 23.

How to get the most out of your Virtual Conference Experience On-Demand sessions will be available for you to enjoy from November 20 – December 30, 2020. This gives you a chance to learn new material while earning CPE credits all at your own pace. LIVE sessions give you the opportunity to possibly interact with the presenter and most, not all, will eventually be available as On-Demand. The Learnworlds platform was designed for teaching which is perfect for our needs. Presentations are broken into smaller sections with response questions and/or activities sandwiched in between. You’ll want to participate in the activities or response questions. The exchange of information is what teachers are all about. A presenter might give you the basics to learning a new technique, but other teachers can chime in with tips and tricks to make this technique even more relatable. Be sure to thank the presenter for offering their time and energy to providing their virtual lesson. Many of our presenters had to learn the technology before supplying the film clips for us to use. There are over 100 presentations to peruse. That in itself is a wonderful testimony to the generosity of our members especially during a time when teachers and administrators can barely squeeze another minute in the day to get done all that needs doing. For this, TAEA is forever grateful.

Thank you, 2020 Dallas Area Conference Chairs, A team of dedicated and dependable TAEA members agreed to be the 2020 Conference Chairs for the Dallas Area Conference to be held at The Delta Hotels by Marriott Dallas Allen and Watters Creek Convention Center in November of 2020. Until August, plans were underway to make this conference happen. COVID19 had a way of putting up roadblocks at every turn, creating difficulty in conference planning and organization. By August, TAEA made the difficult decision to cancel the event. TAEA acknowledges the dedicated efforts of our 2020 conference chairs. Our gratitude to Linh Nguyen, Myron Stennett, Debbie Nicholas and Rhonda Goff for attempting the impossible with amazing grace and positive attitudes.

TAEA DIVISIONS Elementary School Division

Hi there Elementary Art educators! My name is Sarah Kersh, and I am your Elementary Division Chair. As a fellow art educator, I know the importance of collaborating with other “art folk” for inspiration and support. I’m looking forward to meeting with you, albeit virtually. The Elementary Division meeting this year will be focused on mindfulness. To be self aware and mindful of your stress levels reflects on your teaching. Little ones can sense our stress y’all! Take a minute, breathe, and know that YOU’VE GOT THIS!

Sarah Kersh

Elementary Division

Take a minute to breathe...

Join us to create some art, relieve some stress, and collaborate with fellow passionate

Elementary Art educators. Leave the session with a mindfulness lesson you can teach your kiddos and an original piece of art. On Twitter, find us @TXEart to scroll for ideas, tips and tricks in true Elementary fashion. Also, share your successes and questions you may have. Use the hashtag #TAEAelem to advocate your program too! If you have any questions or ideas, please contact me at smkersh@aldineisd.org or on twitter @JonesMiddleArt See you at our Virtual Conference 2020!

Connection in a Time of Disconnect Hello marvelous and resilient MS/JH teachers! My name is Sara Massey and I am your Middle School Division Chair. This year’s division meeting theme “Our Vision is Clear in 2020”, was decided on before March of last year. Currently, we find ourselves asking “Is our vision clear?”. With the ever-changing climate inside and outside of the classroom, there is a feeling of being propelled into the unknown and crossing our fingers at the same time. Let me tell you... You are not alone!

stress free, simple, one word prompt that will be released to all MS/JH teachers at the beginning of each month.

At our meeting we want to take a moment to pause and connect. We spend so much time trying to advocate for our students that we never advocate for ourselves. Self-connection is imperative for student connection.

You can find us on these social media sites. Twitter: @taeaMSJH Facebook: www.facebook.com/taeaMSJH/

We will reflect on self care and student care by exploring, sharing and collaborating on moments that make us smile and laugh.

To lift the fog and bring more clarity, we will participate in an automated drawing activity that was used as a tool by the surrealist artists to allow the mind to relax and is still practiced today by many professional artists. No need to worry about the outcome of the drawing or where it’s going. It’s all about letting go.

Hello, my fellow High School art educators! My name is Sarah Pagona, and I am the current High School Division Chair for TAEA. I have been recently given the opportunity to be the Director to the State VASE Event. So this conference, I will be teaming up with my High School Division Chair-Elect, Chris Weeden, to hand the reigns over to him a year early, to ensure the best VIRTUAL State VASE event possible for the students.

Survival and Inspiration

As you all know, this has indeed been an extraordinary year, and it's not over yet. Many of us are teaching virtually and in the classroom at the same time. We wear masks and shields and spray sanitizer like it's going out of style. We have whole new reasons for stress, and the old ones didn't really go away! It is more important now than ever to reach out to each other and offer support and camaraderie. For this year's conference, we are compiling all kinds of resources: lesson plans, engagement ideas, and helpful hints for teachers to get through the year. Our role is to help lighten your load and inspire you to greatness.

How do we deliver best practices in art education through hybrid learning models? The good news is the ideas are the same, but how we get them out may have to be changed a little! Need some Google tips? Wondering how to run a decent asynchronous critique? Maybe you are out of ideas for kids with no supplies? Join us and share your wisdom with those that need it and come away a little more inspired as well. Also, unlike previous years, all of our competitions, both Regional and State events, will be held virtually. Our first priority is to keep our teachers and students safe this year. Yet, we are very excited to be able to offer similar opportunities for students. We will discuss some helpful tips to help this year's competition season go smoothly for you as well! Follow us on social media! Twitter @HsTaea and Facebook @taeahighschool. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions!

Higher Education Division

Flexible, Teachable, and a Deep Breath are Our New Mantras In the art department at the small Methodist University, McMurry where I teach in Abilene, Texas, we all teach many subjects. This fall I am teaching Elementary Art Education, Art History I, Professional Practices, Basic Pottery and Techniques in Wheel Throwing. A year ago, I did not know how to teach half a class remotely while the other half was in the classroom. I often ask my students for help when the imbedded video will not work in both the classroom and online during class. This summer we all took 40 hours of required online instruction in “online instruction.”

wearing their masks and shields. Normally these 50 students come to the art building for classes, this year we are bringing art on a cart, to keep virus transmission down. Pictured below McMurry Magnet 5th graders visiting Lagina Fairbetter’s exhibit in the Ryan Gallery in September this fall.

Today, I hosted an online portfolio review for nine senior art majors with Assistant Professor of Art, Becky Schneller, from Bethany College in Kansas. Her work is currently featured in one of our galleries. Hosting remote portfolio reviews was not in my skill set a year ago. My Art Education students are teaching 50 math and science magnet fifth graders in person

Please join me in welcoming Kathryn Mitchell, Education Director at The Grace Museum, as Museum Division Chair-Elect. We’re happy to have her on board!

Denise González

Museum Division

Hi everyone! This is Denise González, the Museum Division Chair for TAEA. I hope everyone is staying safe and well during this unprecedented year.

This year has brought with it many challenges AND opportunities. Our lives have all been impacted in one way or another as a result of a pandemic and a monumental social justice movement. Like many art educators in Texas, Kathryn and I were left wondering, “What place do art museums have in their communities? What is our responsibility? What can we do to help?” From community art kits to virtual tours, classes, and programs, we quickly shifted our summer and fall plans.

We were reminded more than ever how flexible and creative art educators really are. As we prepare for our very first virtual TAEA conference, I’m looking forward to hearing from other educators about their experiences teaching and working through a pandemic. What became most important to you? What did you learn about your work, your institutions, or your community? How will that impact you and your work moving forward? I’m eager to connect with more of you this year! Feel free to reach out with any ideas or questions! Denise González

Supervision/Administration Division

The pandemic challenged teachers and administrators to develop new modes of instruction and pathways for student growth in a rapid and unexpected move to a virtual education environment. Part of our focus as administrators has been developing methods to maintain the social and emotional connections associated with artful learning while instructing students virtually.

Stacia Gower

Supervison/Administration Division

Challenging Times = Growth

Beginning in May our cohort met monthly via zoom sessions. We shared challenges, ideas and solutions regarding virtual learning, communal supplies, face to face learning, art events and contests as well as many ancillary activities associated with a rich and broad visual art education program. We have learned from each other and built on shared ideas. The solutions we have come up with have helped teachers in districts around the state navigate online learning while encouraging student creativity and growth through visual art education. The TAEA Administration & Supervision Division announced the 43 winners of the District of Distinction Award for 2020 in September. These districts received the honor for providing a wellrounded education that advocates and integrates

visual arts curriculum to inspire creativity, reach all learners and foster community connections. District participation in the program grew this year even with the many challenges and changes the pandemic caused. More than 1,000 districts were eligible to apply. Participating districts submitted documented evidence that showed they met the requirements of this award program during the 2019-2020 school year. Forty-three districts achieved these high standards and have received this honor indicating their art education programs are in the top 4 percent of districts in our state. These 43 districts will be honored at the TAEA Administration & Supervision Virtual Meeting November 21, 2020, beginning at 1:00. Congratulations on your success! For more information on our division or the District of Distinction Award Program please visit the TAEA website or email:

TAEA DIVISIONS Private School Division

Last school year we wrapped up an unprecedented Spring 2020, many of us teaching students virtually for the first time all the while a global pandemic unfolded and social injustices in our country could no longer be ignored. We said our goodbyes and wished our students a great summer, and then the real work began.

Elizabeth Zepeda

Private School Division

Culturally Responsive Teaching

The summer months were spent working on how to better facilitate online learning. From Zoom to Loom, Padlet and Playposit, new tools for educators flooded our screens. Foreshadowing what was to come, hours of learning to create engaging independent and collaborative lessons on new platforms for our students. New tools embraced; the next step was to address the deeper systemic issues in our profession. The art world discussed the need to include the narrative of BIPOC artists in our curriculum. Panel discussions and summer workshops called for us to take action and address the biases within our community. For many that meant unlearning the ways of thinking and presenting information so that all voices and perspectives are included in an authentic way.

The importance of adjusting our curriculum and revising how we teach to be more inclusive for all art students must be at our core. Fundamental to a student’s success is seeing and studying artists who look like them. Gone are the days of only studying the Western Canon, appropriating indigenous cultures and teaching their work in the past tense, along with skimming over contemporary artists and issues. We can and must teach better than the generations before. The path forward must consist of culturally responsive teaching and curriculum design. I encourage everyone to have a hard look at their current art curriculum, looking for ways to expand and adjust curriculum to better meet the evolving needs of our art students. We must acknowledge the complications of intersectionality among students and community, for that is crucial to advancing equity in education for all! Please scan this QR code with your phone to answer the questions in this form, TAEA: Building an Inclusive Community.

Community Based Art Division

The Community Art Division goal remains the same. We want to get to know our membership and create a dynamic space for community art partners to celebrate the things they’re doing to bring art to communities around the state. We know wonderful things are happening and desire to increase visibility and idea sharing for our membership.

Jenny Lucas

Community Division

Community Art Creating Culture Please share your news and information on the Facebook page,

https://www.facebook.com/groups/24490305 63 29875/ or by searching “TAEA Community Division.” Or, join us on Twitter, using @communitydiv and #CommunityArtTX to share your stories. We look forward to learning from you!

The hope is that our involvement with one another won’t be limited to a few short days each November. If we can learn from one another what our involvement in each of our communities looks like, perhaps we can inspire others and be a catalyst to bring similar programs into areas of Texas that are not currently being served. As your Community Based Art Division chair, I desire to support community arts organizations as they help their communities come to see art not simply as a reflection of culture, but rather as a powerful tool in creating culture.

To Retired Teachers or “Thinking About Retiring Soon” Teachers

Kathy Hendrick

Retired Division

Hi Everyone! I am Kathy Hendrick, your new Retired Art Educators Division Chair. This past summer I was asked to replace Walter Holland as chair when he took the President-Elect position after that office became vacant. I hope that the next two years will be good ones and that we can expand the participation of our retired members in TAEA activities. Staying active in TAEA after retiring can benefit you as well as the organization. Not only is it a good way to keep current with what is happening in art education in Texas, but also a way that you can use your experience and expertise to help teachers that are still in the classroom. Even though this has been an unusual year, there is much that TAEA can offer you. The Senior Symposium that was scheduled to be held in Brenham in early June had to be cancelled

due to the Covid 19 pandemic. We are working on plans to continue the symposium in 2021 and hope to see many of you there either as attendees or presenters. Since Fall Conference will be virtual this year we will be using ZOOM for our Division meeting the week before the actual conference. Mark your calendars for Thursday, November 12 at 6:00p.m. Plus, this year there is no registration fee for retired art educators! If you have retired recently, or not so recently, contact TAEA headquarters to have your status changed. Contact me if you need help doing this. As with everything else, there have been many adjustments and changes this year, but I hope you will join us and learn more about ways to continue to be active in TAEA.

In Memoriam Robert William “Rob” Parker March 13, 1949 – November 23, 2019 When Robert William “Rob” Parker, TAEA Distinguished Fellow, entered a room the space was filled with his warm smile and laughter. Rob never met a stranger, always connecting in some way with everyone. He was a proud first-generation Italian American and a “fun guy.” Rob graduated from Sam Houston State and dedicated 40 years to art education in Brenham ISD. It is estimated “Mr. Parker” likely taught 6000 students during his career. He retired in 2012 and began a second teaching career at Christ Lutheran Christian Day School working with his “munchkins”, the preschoolers. Promoting art education and supporting art educators was his passion. Rob was an active TAEA member since 1980, working continually in many different positions. He served the organization as Area 4 Representative, Conference Evaluation Chair, TAEA photographer, Secondary Division Chair, Region 6 Representative, and Retired Division Chair. Rob was a certified Visual Art Scholastic Event juror, working at the regional and state level. He served VASE as a site director, juror foreman and member of the Blue Ribbon Board. His dedication continued as site coordinator for Region 6 Summer Regional Conferences and our first Summer “Senior” Symposium. No job too large or small for Rob, just ask and he was there to help. Rob was a life member of the Brazos Valley Art Education Association and National Art Education Association. His dedication to TAEA and art education is clearly evident. Rob leaves behind his immediate family and extended TAEA Family. This kind, loyal, dedicated, generous, “get it done” gentleman will be greatly missed. We are grateful for his contributions to art education.

Dr. Phyllis Knerl Miller Dr. Phyllis Miller was an ultimate art educator and a mentor to so many young art teachers wanting to come into the teaching field. She served as a professor of art education at the University of Houston for many years helping to grow students and the program. Dr. Miller was eager to share her vast knowledge, experiences and resources with her university students and members of her art association, TAEA. She was also a loyal member of Texas Art Education Association over the years. Dr. Miller was President of TAEA as well as a charter member of the TAEA Distinguish Fellows. She was selected for many honors during her career because of the rigorous work she did. She helped build our art association by advocating for the arts, serving on the TAEA board and mentoring board members. Her work with the Council at Large committee is legendary and she was our hero for testifying at the Capitol to promote art education. She not only talked to everyone about how important art can be, but she practiced it in her daily life. She was some gal and a friend to all. Phyllis was survived by her husband, William Miller, and three sons, Robert, John, and Steve, five grandchildren, and countless friends. They were with Phyllis at her home in Austin, Texas. As was her wish, she will be laid to rest near her parents in Ravenna, Nebraska. Her memory can also be honored with a donation to the TAEA Foundation Scholarship program or the Phyllis and Mudge Miller Scholarship Endowment at the University of Houston College of Education.

Annual Fall Conference Supervision and Administration Division Meeting Presenter(s): Stacia Gower Sat., Nov. 21 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM The Administration and Supervision Division will host our annual Fall Conference meeting on Saturday, November 21, 2020 from 1:00-3:00 PM.This year our meeting will take place virtually via a Zoom session. This session agenda includes time to recognize our 43 new District of Distinction inductees. We will celebrate their efforts providing quality visual art programs that encourage creative student learning and growth. If you are interested in learning more about this award program we will provide more information during this session. We are looking forward to growing the program and hope to have many more districts across the state participate for the 20202021 school year. As administrators we have been involved in constructing a very different approach to education the past 6-7 months. Fine arts administrators and educators have worked together to design and implement instruction programs that encompass virtual and face-to-face learning. We have shared successes as well as challenges and managed to find the avenues that “work” as we focus on what "we can do" and "not on what we can’t do". We have lined up several presenters, experienced teachers and administrators, who will briefly share ideas and information that you can take back to your district and share with your visual art team. We are finding that visual art educators are leaders in developing students' social and emotional growth and learning even through online learning platforms. Sandra Newton (co-chair) and I hope you will join us for the celebration and presentations.
